World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Information Systems: The Connection Of People And
Book SynopsisThis unique new textbook on Information Systems (IS) provides an answer to a few basic questions in the field: What is the scientific nature of IS? How do we design IS in today's connected world? What is the relationship between IS and innovation in knowledge economies? Whereas mainframe corporate computers tended to dominate the thinking in the 1980s, the dominating factor today is personal digital devices that connect the world as one whole IS. Network science is emerging to describe these digital connections (e.g., social networking), and service science is similarly emerging to describe service value networks.This book therefore synthesizes the emerging network science and service science with the classic IS theory, resulting in a new set of principles for IS strategic planning. It also reviews the standard IS topics of system analysis and database design, covering the whole spectrum of databases and all the major methods and techniques of database design. The role of IS as a technological innovation in the knowledge economy is also analyzed. In doing so, new concepts such as basic values of IS, systems of IS, sustainability of IS, IS as a service system, IS as a human value network, and the hyper-network model for innovation by IS, are developed.Table of ContentsInformation Systems: The Science and Practice of Connecting People and Resources to Create Value; Strategic Planning for Information Systems: Determine the Mission of Innovation and the Scope of the Human Value Networks Involved; Development of Information System Master Plans: Identify the Optimal Roadmap to Connecting People and Resources According to the Mission; Process Modeling: Analyze the Specific Information System Resources Required in the Mission and Master Plan; Architectures of Information Integration: From Single Databases and Distributed Databases to Multiple Databases and Internet Databases; Designing Databases: Data Normalization and Data Modeling Using Entity, Relationship, and Object Hierarchy; Techniques of Database Processing: From SQL for Single Databases to Extensions of SQL for Global Query of Independent Databases; A Strategic Planning Case: Innovation by Hyper-Networking Humans and Physical Environment to Improve a Regional Economy; Information Systems and Knowledge Economy: Review of Select Student Projects, Preview of New Microeconomic Production Functions, and a Case for Optimism.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Time-discrete Method Of Lines For Options And
Book SynopsisFew financial mathematical books have discussed mathematically acceptable boundary conditions for the degenerate diffusion equations in finance. In The Time-Discrete Method of Lines for Options and Bonds, Gunter H Meyer examines PDE models for financial derivatives and shows where the Fichera theory requires the pricing equation at degenerate boundary points, and what modifications of it lead to acceptable tangential boundary conditions at non-degenerate points on computational boundaries when no financial data are available.Extensive numerical simulations are carried out with the method of lines to examine the influence of the finite computational domain and of the chosen boundary conditions on option and bond prices in one and two dimensions, reflecting multiple assets, stochastic volatility, jump diffusion and uncertain parameters. Special emphasis is given to early exercise boundaries, prices and their derivatives near expiration. Detailed graphs and tables are included which may serve as benchmark data for solutions found with competing numerical methods.Table of ContentsProperties of Solutions of the PDEs of Finance; Acceptable Boundary Conditions; Numerical Solution with a Locally One-Dimensional Free Boundary Solver; European and American Puts and Calls; Bonds and Bond Options for One-Factor Interest Rate Models; Stochastic Volatility Models; American Options on Two Assets; Front Tracking in Cartesian and Polar Coordinates;

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Project Objectives Management
Book SynopsisManage supplier objectives effectively to align project and organizational success within your organization. This book introduces a dedicated method for suppliers to follow to ensure that all relevant targets and expectations are successfully meet. The method integrates a day-to-day high awareness, urgency, and focus on the management of all relevant objectives within the supplier's project to provide maximum benefit for its organization. You'll learn that formal targets are routinely established at the start of a project and captured in a contract or project charter. Formal customer expectations, such as timelines, scope, and budget, have high focus and are often pitted against internal day-to-day challenges, such as cost increases and other unexpected changes. These challenges can seem even more daunting as a project progresses, especially when other stakeholders have expectations as well. When not managed properly, this can obstruct the focus of less urgent or informal objectives, such as employee development, process assets, and lessons learned, some of which provide a critical benefit for the supplier's organization and its future. To combat this, you'll follow detailed instructions on how to handle such potential roadblocks and how to focus on achieving all relevant project objectives by applying the established method. Each chapter expands the dedicated method itself and provides insight into this philosophy. In the end you'll have all the necessary prerequisites for a successful implementation of these principles within your organization. What You Will LearnDefine organizational objectives aligned with the organization's purpose and valuesPrioritize and align project specific objectives with the organizational objectivesFacilitate to achieve the project objectivesHandle day-to-day challenges with managing the project objectivesBalance customer and supplier targets and expectationsWho This Book is ForProject management professionals with various levels of skill and experience working at small-to-medium sized project suppliers, both for-profit and non-profit organisations.
